[T3] Stop & Go driving kills my car


I'm still waiting for my accelerator cable to come from wild and
exotic Canada.

While waiting my other car started giving me problems.

It is the 71 FIMT square.

If I do a lot of stop and go driving, meaning I drive for 5 or 10
minutes stop the car, leave for 5 minutes, start it again and repeat,
it starts running rough then backfiring then flooding (at least that
is what I am assuming from the unburned gas smell).

I checked the spark, dwell, timing and vacuum and they are all OK.

What do I check next?
